Mother-in-law is currently sewing cloth masks for my wife. My wife is researching which furnace filters to buy so she can hack them to fill the cloth mask. THIS IS WHAT IT IS COMING TO!

So I got a quarantine haircut. I picked-up a clipper earlier in the week and the wife mowed me down. I was pretty shaggy to say the least - I would have gone this week if the world hadn't unraveled. Anyway, this looks a lot better than I thought it would.
Little victories.

I really hope those furnace filters contain any cancer causing particles in them should fibers become loose after cutting them apart.
Really scary what we are coming too.
20 years ago nearly all the supply of masks our healthcare systems used where made right in In American. Fast forward to today and they are all made in China.
Just heard CNN talking about that suppliers in China all are requiring 100% of payments upfront before manufacturing the masks ordered.
They said usually deals like that are considered scammy and avoided. But there are no options. It's pay upfront or miss out on the masks.
This will lead to the likelihood that several orders go unfulfilled despite being paid for upfront.

Hang on a second. Is that per-capita or total? What's the source for that?

Die now, or die later...
It came from some Union leader that CNN was interviewing. They didn't say if it was per-capita or provide more details than what I mentioned above. The focus was more on putting urgency on our government to act.

Fair enough I suppose. I disagree with the tactics but it's difficult not to blame that person for being desperate.

Just found out that NASCAR is running a virtual race right now.
Quite impressed that they have managed to accomplish this and it's quite entertaining / humorous. Very crashy

'Normal' bar the closing of pubs, bars, restaurants, leisure centres and the ending of all sporting events. They're still strongly discouraged from going out.
It's less to do with that and more that the orders won't stick until the situation is a clusterfuck. As has been noted, with the partial exception of the self-employed, everyone else in the UK is underwritten by the state- we're essentially nationalised. It's not a monetary thing, it's an honest appraisal of the attitude of the population as of today. As of this time next week, they'll probably be ready to do as they're fucking told.

People really need to follow the instructions. The US is now on a worse curve than Italy. This is serious.

This is basically what happened in Italy. Now Italy leads the world in deaths.
